Carolyn:
It is vault number 711, and mentioned in the letter Sirius sends 
Harry which he receives on the Hogwart's Express. P.315 in my UK 
edition. Its quite curious that he gives Harry his vault number, now 
that we are having this discussion. Would you give your bank account 
number or PIN number to your godson, however much you like him ?

Another sneaky one from JKR perhaps - is Harry going to need that 
number at some later date, and suddenly has to hunt out the letter ?
